I'm 64 and I don't care about them.
Not that I enjoy these bands but I would imagine Devo, especially Mark mothersbaugh, and maybe Nine Inch Nails would be among the top best known Ohio artist. Maybe Joe Walsh, maybe Eric Carmen?

Outside of devo I'm not sure many people realize that those guys are associated with Ohio

Oh I remember this well.....
....The James Gang was an American rock band formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1966. The band enjoyed moderate success with the singles "Funk #49" and "Walk Away," and are perhaps best remembered as the first popular band to feature the guitarist/vocalist Joe Walsh, who later became a member of the Eagles.

Don't forget about Dave Grohl (Warren Ohio) from Nirvana and currently with the Foo Fighters.

For an American band versus the massive British invasion in the late 60s early 70s I've always liked Lynrd Skynard out of FLA.

PS the Cars are from Boston but Benjamin Orr was at least born in Lakewood.

Well, I guess the question is what is the meaning of "from". Is it where most of the guys in the band were born, grew up.....or is it where they played a few initial gigs.
Like Aerosmith. I understand that most of those guys are "from" Boston....grew up there, formed there. But, maybe when they first started they played some gigs in NH.
And like The Cars. Yea, one guy was born/raised in Cleveland area.....but, I and WSS were sure all around the Cleveland music scene when that band would have been formed, and I sure never remember them ever playing regularly around here.
What say you Steve? Do you recall the Cars playing here in their formative years?

Nobody not from CLE knows The Raspberries... may as well opt for The Lemon Pipers from down Miami of Ohio way.
James Gang? Getting warmer, but think with Trent's NIN I think you may have nailed it.
Akron's Chrissy Hynde deserves mention. Even was in a band with Mothersbaugh early-on. Knocked around KSU before ultimately moving to London where after fumbling around for a few years The Pretenders formed.

I guess it is based on where they were born, and part of a group, thus why people like Frank Sinatra and Elvis don't make the list.
I forget whoever was listed for Georgia, but I can't get past the Allmond Bros or REM over them. Hell, I'll take Atlanta Rhythm Section over them.

Raspberries we cult favorite but I said Eric Carmen. He's respectable but not the most well-known from Ohio.

Ten musicians you may have not known are from Pa.
And I'm not a fan of any of them, although Henry Mancini was a brilliant composer.
